RE: CountA

Hi Stephanie.

Thanks for the question and welcome to the forum.

It's quite easy to use CountA.

You just go to the cell you want to put the answer in, type:
=COUNTA(
and then select the column/rows you want to include in the formula. For example A1-A7.
Then type the closing bracket:
)
And press enter.

It's a useful function function that counts up the number of cells containing data, either numbers or labels, in your selected range.

I hope this answers your question. We look forward to answering any more you may have.

Kind regards,
Rich
